This week I wrote down the recipe for making a cottagepie, as I had left over roast beef. I also think the origin from Shepherd’spie could be linked to shepherds looks after sheep
Shepherd's pie,is a great way of using up the lamb,or beef forcottagepie, left over from the Sunday roast lunch, it was a regular Monday dinner in my childhood
At the end if it he mentioned that he was having cottagepiefor supper. I had a call with my attorney whilst I was driving back from work on nasty roads
Flicking through my Food Optimising book I came across the photo of a delicious looking CottagePie, I immediately headed over to the Slimming World web page and searched for it
Though very simple to make, shepherds pie can be a little time consuming to cook from scratch so I’ll often batch cook both the base and the topping for this recipe and freeze them in bags ready to thaw out and assemble on busy week nights, or if I have a little more space in the freezer, I’ll make up a couple of pies and freeze them before cooking, for a delicious homemade ready meal
I most often make mine with minced lamb or even beef (which technically makes it a Cottagepie). Shepherd’spie is firm family favourite when it comes to comfort food
I also have a meat free cottagepie on the blog, if you have prefer a veggie version. This Shepherd’sPie with Colcannon topping is a real treat, very worthy of a feast day celebration I think
If you are a new vegetarian, or if you are cooking for vegetarians it can be useful to have meals that are familiar and a direct substitute for a meat based meal such as vegetarian sausages, vegetarian lasagne, or burgers
One of my favourite flavour combinations with lamb is Indian spices – so to make this shepherd’spie even more exciting, I have added cumin, ginger, garam masala, turmeric and chilli – all flavours which really compliment the lamb and make this shepherd’spie extra delicious
Ever wanted to just cook one portion of Shepherd's pie rather than a massive dish. Ever have one of those days when you want your favourite comfort food but you want to lighten things up a little
Add the crushed garlic, stir for a minute. Simple Shepherds Pie Recipe with spicy potatoes and parsnips mashed is mince lamb cooked with lots of vegetables, layered with spicy potatoes and parsnips mashed and baked in oven
